Yesterday saw Manchester City officially unveil summer signing Savinho. The arrival of the Brazilian international is an exciting prospect for Manchester City and their fans. The young winger is one of football’s brightest young talents based on his displays for Girona last season and for Brazil at the Copa America. It is an exciting prospect to see the winger develop his game under Pep Guardiola’s tutelage. If he can take his game to the next level under the City manager then Manchester City will have a world-beater on their hands.
Speaking with the media at his official unveiling Savinho is excited at the prospect of learning from Pep Guardiola. He told the media: “I want to improve in all aspects of my game. And part of my decision is that all players have improved under Pep in their skills and decision-making. I have come here to learn and help the team.”
If Savinho can further his game under Pep Guardiola Manchester City will have a world-beater at their disposal.
There is no doubting the obvious talent and potential of Savinho. Last season at Girona he showed just how dangerous a player he can be. He scored 11 goals and added 10 assists in all competitions for Girona last season. But those statistics only tell part of the story. The attributes of the young winger, coupled with his eye for goal and a pass, are what make him such a tantalising prospect.
Savinho is at his best when he is running at defenders. During last season with Girona, he was one of the most dangerous wingers in La Liga. As per an article from Adrian Clarke for the official Premier League website the Brazilian winger led La Liga for goals and assists after ball carries. This trait of Savinho, coupled with his obvious talent, makes him a dynamic attacking option for the champions. Now that he is finally a part of the Manchester City squad Pep Guardiola has one of the most dynamic young wingers to mould and develop.
That’s the exciting part of Savinho’s arrival at Manchester City. If Pep Guardiola can further develop the Brazilian international the world champions will have a world-beater on their hands. The young winger has the potential to be one of the premier widemen in world football. He is that good. It is not out of the realm of possibility that he could become a player in the mould of previous City wingers Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling. The pair were a key part of City’s side that dominated the Premier League from the 2017/18 season onwards. Savinho can be just as good, if not better than the duo.
Now the hard work begins for Savinho at Manchester City. Based on his comments yesterday he is determined to make the most of the opportunity he has in front of him. If Pep Guardiola can help develop the young Brazilian winger City will have a world-beater on their hands. That is an exciting proposition for everyone associated with Manchester City.
